Rekha Basu

Rekha’s comments in quotes, mine in italics.

“Each campaign season brings another target for demagoguery, accompanied by a menacing new narrative: The “slut” (sexually active single female) who wants her health insurance to cover her birth control.”

30 plus single female at a Catholic University who wants the Catholic University to pay for her birth control…while a single adult female.

“ The destroyers of traditional marriage (same­sex couples) who want to steal the institution from straight people.”

Nope, the political class has already negated traditional marriage by instituting no-fault divorce… slip knots didn’t steal marriage from straight people, but they made marriage irrelevant at best, lethal for people who are married to a spouse that is dishonorable. Gays scammed their way into an institution for which they are not qualified just to get access to the benefits.

“The robber, murderer, criminal black man (Willie Horton) who wants to get furloughed to do it again.”

Al Gore served up the Willie Horton issue during a debate with Governor Dukakis. In 1988. Digging back a little in the grievance archives aren’t we Rekha?

“This year’s target is the foreigner.”

No, this DECADE’S target is the swarm of illegals ignoring our borders. Foreigners are not the problem. Gate crashers are. Conflating them is slimy and dishonest rhetoric.

“That's the undocumented Latino immigrant portrayed as sneaking across the border (they do) to rape or addict your children (they have) , give birth to American citizens in your hospitals and squander your tax dollars on food stamps.” (they do and they do)

“ Usually the rhetoric is aimed at a political rival, and the demographic group (illegals are not a demographic group) is ammunition for the candidate’s case. But this year’s chief demagogue is a popular Iowa talk radio host. On his Aug. 17 WHO radio show, Jan Mickelson proposed that Iowa declare undocumented immigrants to be “state property,”

Nope. As an example of Iowa’s passive aggressive traits, I recommended we put up signs at the borders giving illegals 60 days to leave Iowa or become property of the state. Putting up signs.

“…and enslave any who remain here past a deadline. “

Indenturing criminals for community service.

“They could then be coerced into building a wall along Mexico for free.”

Trump could get his wall built with illegals captured at the border, not captured here in Iowa. Does any Iowa taxpayer really have a problem with holding criminals accountable for breaking and entering? What is more just that rounding up illegals at the border to build a wall to prevent just that? For free? You mean we should educate the children of illegals “for free”?…treat illegals in our hospitals “for free”? Give their children born here citizenship “for free”? You are mighty cavalier Reckha, with other people’s money.

“What’s wrong with slavery?” Mickelson shot back when challenged, contending that it’s Americans who are enslaved by having to pay for undocumented immigrants. “

That was a rhetorical question to a caller who that making criminals pay restitution sounds like slavery. When I asked, “What’s wrong with slavery?” I wasn’t advocating the chattel slavery outlawed by the 13th Amendment, but proceeding to a discussion of the indentured servitude permitted by the 13th Amendment for the payment of restitution. The conversation was cut short, and the thought was never completed. Media Matters(a hard left George Soros funded Democrat front group) used that incomplete conversation to assert that I recommended the enslavement of all immigrants. Rubbish.

(Matt Hildreth is a leftist activist funded by socialist George Soros, Move On dot Org and with America’s Voice, a socialist open borders organization) I wonder why Rekha didn’t bother to properly identify the biases of her sources.

“But he says the commission responded by saying it can only fine for obscenity, and Mickelson didn’t use swear words. Now Hildreth has a petition already signed by hundreds, he says, calling on WHO owner, I Heart Radio, to pull Mickelson off the air. Hildreth says the Constitution protects free speech, but that a homeless Mexican immigrant was beaten in Boston last week by attackers, one of whom claimed to be inspired by Donald Trump. “We're entering a new space where people act on this stuff,” he said of such inflammatory rhetoric.”

Rubbish. So my boss is supposed to fire me for telling the truth and whose only crime is offending paid activists of George Soros front groups? Media Matters has been putting out their silly petitions against me for years. They are about as meaningless as the signs I suggested.

“The American Civil Liberties Union is calling for advertisers to boycott the show. In 2012, 45 advertisers pulled their ads from Rush Limbaugh’s slow after he called law student Sandra Fluke a slut over her bid for birth ­control coverage.”

You mean her bid for Catholics being extorted into paying for activity which violates Catholic doctrine? That bid? Oh.

The ACLU? Another hard left organization funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations group.

“The right to own another human being may have been abolished 150 years ago, but Mickelson put it back on the table.”

Bullhockey. I advocated putting up signs. Leave or be assigned community service. That’s it.

“When Trump advocates scrapping birthright citizenship, other candidates like Ted Cruz and Scott Walker scramble to claim the idea. But it's not going to happen. They'd have to amend the Constitution to get around the amendment where anyone born on American soil is American — or get the Supreme Court to overturn its ruling on how that's enforced.”

More Rubbish. The Constitution doesn’t have to be amended to end birthright citizenship. US Senator Jacob Howard, who wrote the 14th Amendment in Senate debate:

“…All persons born in the United States, and sujct to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside…this will not, of course, include person borne in the United States who are foreigners…”

Plus the Constitution explicitly gives congress the sole authority to “establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization” not the courts.

“Nor is anyone going to deport every undocumented immigrant here. It’s not practical or ethical, and from meat­packing plants to hotels, it would bring much of the American economy to a standstill.”

Ah, the other shoe drops. “Not practical” or “ethical”.

Hmm. Without jobs, benefits, or means of getting government benefits, no illegals will stay. “Ethical”? Demanding the enforcement of the will of the people and the laws of Iowa and the USA is certainly ethical. If not, why not?

“ Americans rely on undocumented immigrants to clean our homes, raise our children, and work the plants and factories.”

No they don’t. Maybe Rekha has somebody to clean her house, or raise her children, but almost no Iowans do. And work in plant and factories? Not if the law is followed they don’t. And these are jobs that Iowans used to do and were paid well for. My dad worked at Western Iowa Pork back in the 60s and was paid the equivalent of nearly $60 an hour. After high school in Harlan, Iowa I did the same thing. Not pleasant work, but honorable and desirable if the pay is a living wage. Iowans will do the work if paid.

“They repopulate dying cities and schools, taking little from the economy compared with what they give.”

Baloney… Iowans pay almost 200 million a year just to educate the children of parents who are not legally here. More than 50 million on health care, and more than 5 million incarcerating deportable illegals.

“And their status makes them vulnerable to everything from substandard housing to hazardous working conditions to sexually abusive employers. Complaints over a lack of safety precautions or mandatory overtime can result in to calls to immigration authorities.”

Their status can be corrected. Go home.

“If Mickelson heard the stories of Agriprocessors workers rounded up in the 2008 immigration raids in Postville, he might have understood the great personal risk at which immigrants come to make a living and feed their families.

Yes, I’ve heard the stories about the criminal operation that a scumbag named Aaron Rubaskin was running. He picked a remote area of Iowa to over-run and exploit. First he hired a bunch of illegals to exploit. Then, when that didn’t work out because of ICE raids, he imported Somalians. That doesn’t even include charges of animal abuse, meth labs, extortion….etc. He went to jail. Agriprocessors remains a blight upon Iowa. I feel sorry for anybody unfortunate to have been sucked into their scam.

“Maria Ruiz left Guatemala after becoming orphaned and homeless at 17, when the greenhouse where she and her parents had worked for $100 a month revoked her company­provided housing. So she crossed two borders by foot and hitchhiked to Texas where, broke and hungry, she turned herself in to authorities. They let her go with a paper she thought was a residence permit but turned out to be a court date. In Iowa, she packed beef for $7.25 an hour and no health benefits, often working 19 hours a day. For more context, let's go back to the U.S.­engineered 1954 coup in Guatemala, which toppled a democratically elected president who was responsive to people’s economic needs, replacing him with a series of dictators friendly to U.S. corporate interests. They plundered the wealth, leaving their people impoverished. Now millions of undocumented immigrants are embedded in this nation's fabric. We should talk about how to fix their status, but in a responsible way.”

Life sucks in the Third World. If we import the Third World to Iowa, life will suck here too. I agree that our political class has allowed big box agriculture to be irresponsible with our resources, our environment, and our wage scales. Our first priority should be to advance the well-being of Iowans, not illegally imported poverty from the Third World.

“This inflammatory rhetoric is a long way from the approach of past GOP leaders like former President George W. Bush and former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel. Iowa's beloved former Iowa Gov. Bob Ray, who welcomed Southeast Asian war refugees in the 1970s, issued a statement earlier this year supporting Justice for Our Neighbors, which provides free legal services to unaccompanied undocumented minors. “Iowa is a welcoming state!” Ray declared. At least it was then. I'm hopeful most Iowans will respond to Mickelson's slave ­ownership plan by showing it still is.”

I said nothing inflammatory. Advocating for the enforcement of immigration laws isn’t controversial. As I have shown, most of what was said about my remarks was mis-reported or twisted by paid leftist activists, or by a dishonest columnist. Comparing the importation of Laotians to Iowa following the Vietnam War to the open borders invasion of illegals is silly. In the first case, we volunteered and extended an invitation. Now, hoards come without invitation and paid street hustlers shill for more. Iowans are on to the scam. Donald Trump’s popularity in Iowa and elsewhere demonstrates they are sick of it.

4.When a treaty is signed because of the Supremacy clause, it can amend the Constitution.

5.When someone is born in the United States, citizenship is automatic based upon the 14th Amendment.

6.Congress can spend money on anything it wants with a majority vote for the general welfare.

I’ve been a radio talk host for a long time. Over the years I’ve interviewed hundreds of politicians, including many presidential candidates. You’d be astonished to discover how many of them (politicians)are simply collections of bumper stickers and cultural cliches’. The ones above are held by most.

1. Article 4, Section four, “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government…” The framers hated the democratic impulse with a passion. Alexander Hamilton: “We are a republican government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or the extremes of democracy.” John Adams: “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” Karl Marx: “Democracy is the road to socialism.”

2.Federalist 51: “…the legislative authority necessarily predominates.” Federalist 78: “The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse…is, beyond comparison, the weakest of the three departments of power…the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter.”

3.Article VI. Section 2 of the US Constitution lists three things as “the supreme law of the land:” (1) This constitution; (2) The laws of the United States made in pursuance of it: and (3) All treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States.” You will notice by conspicuous absence, court opinions, because at the time of its writing nobody believed court decisions equaled law. With Blackstone, they believed that court opinion pursuant to law or treaty was “…evidence of law.” And if a judge was mistaken about that law, then according to Blackstone, his opinion was not “bad law, but that was not law” at all.

4.Alexander Hamilton: “Treaties…are not rules prescribed by the sovereign to the subject, but agreements between sovereign and sovereign…the only constitutional exception to the power of making treaties is that they shall not change the Constitution.” Jefferson: “…if the treaty making power is boundless, then we have no Constitution.”

5.14th Amendment: “…All persons born of naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United State and also of the state wherein they reside.” This amendment added to the Constitution after the Civil War was designed to make citizens of former slaves. It has been stretched to create birthright citizenship for anyone born here. However, Senator Jacob Howard, the author of 14th Amendment, said in Senate debate, “This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will NOT, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens…”

6.Madison: “…If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular exceptions…If Congress can apply money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may establish teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the union, they may assume the provision for the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post roads; in short, everything from the highest object of state legislation, down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress; for every object I have mentioned would admit the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare….”

Apply these arguments with appropriate snarkiness. Honest politicians will give you the deer in the headlights look followed by, “I didn’t know that. Thanks.” Others will go Nancy Pelosi on you, “Are you serious--are you serious?” Then, they will never speak with you again. Vote accordingly.

1. We are a democracy.

2. We have three equal branches of government.

3. When a court rules, the opinion becomes law.

4. When a treaty is signed because of the Supremacy clause, it can amend the Constitution.

5. When someone is born in the United States, citizenship is automatic based upon the 14th Amendment.

6. Congress can spend money on anything it wants with a majority vote for the general welfare.

I’ve been a radio talk host for a long time. Over the years I’ve interviewed hundreds of politicians, including many presidential candidates. You’d be astonished to discover how many of them (politicians)are simply collections of bumper stickers and cultural cliches’. The ones above are held by most.

1. Article 4, Section four, “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government…” The framers hated the democratic impulse with a passion. Alexander Hamilton: “We are a republican government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or the extremes of democracy.” John Adams: “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” Karl Marx: “Democracy is the road to socialism.”

2. Federalist 51: “…the legislative authority necessarily predominates.” Federalist 78: “The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse…is, beyond comparison, the weakest of the three departments of power…the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter.”

3. Article VI. Section 2 of the US Constitution lists three things as “the supreme law of the land:” (1) This constitution; (2) The laws of the United States made in pursuance of it: and (3) All treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States.” You will notice by conspicuous absence, court opinions, because at the time of its writing nobody believed court decisions equaled law. With Blackstone, they believed that court opinion pursuant to law or treaty was “…evidence of law.” And if a judge was mistaken about that law, then according to Blackstone, his opinion was not “bad law, but that was not law” at all.

First as a Christian libertarian, I consider somebody else’s sexual behavior or self-identity to be none of my business. Period. I have zero desire to use the law to bludgeon the sexually befuddled into conformity.

2 My bumper sticker has always read, “Stay out of my face, stay out of my wallet, and stay away from the kids. Still does. If the gay lobby violates any of that, I’ll be passionately snarky.

3. If the Gay lobby tries uses law to compel my affirmation or extend to itself a subsidy, then the fight is on.

Dr. Ben Carson made a rookie mistake. He allowed himself to be cross examined by a gay lobby zealot, a CNN reporter, Chris Cuomo. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with allowing a hostile interviewer to ask questions. In fact sometimes it is great, especially if it allows enough time to comment to explain your views. However, this is not the time to wing it if you don’t know the guy’s agenda or his tactics. You’ll likely get hammered.

Carson’s first statement was great. He refused to accept the premise of the question when he said same sex behavior is a choice, and that sexual identity is not to be equated with race.

Then, Dr. Carson stepped in it when he implied that prison sodomy can make a straight criminal emerge from prison converted to gay. Carson said the “situational” behavior of criminals in prison redefines them as gay. Carson equated debased prison behavior as defining the sexuality of the prisoner. That‘s a big mistake since that’s the same argument the gay lobby uses. They use the Kinsey Myth to say that people are defined by their inclinations—preferences to commit a behavior, which reveal an orientation. That “orientation”, the lobby has leveraged into a legally protected sexual class equipped with civil rights, including minority status and aspirations of “marriage equality”.

Is this unartful mess a fatal gaffe? No. At least it doesn’t have to be.

Dr. Ben Carson is high on the list of presidential aspirants because of one thing. A couple of years ago at the annual prayer breakfast, while in the presence of President Obama, Dr. Ben Carson challenged the basis and practically of Obamacare. The act of speaking truth to power launched his political career. Everywhere people who are tired of government over-reach saying to themselves, “This is the guy we’ve been waiting for.”

So, when Dr. Carson attacked the basic notions of the gay lobby, many Americans thought, “Finally, here’s a guy who is up to the task of challenging the runaway gay lobby machine…even though his language was imprecise and incomplete.

After Carson tangled with Cuomo, I had a chance to speak with several of his Iowa supporters. Seeing the usual thuggery of the Gaystopo, I observed that the only way Carson’s gaffe could seriously hurt him was that if he were to back off and go squishy. I advised that if Dr. Carson really folded on this, his candidacy could be seriously damaged.

I advised, “Don’t fold. Dr. Carson is on solid ground. He needs some help with gay-speak , but stay the course. The culture is fed up with the intolerance of the gay agenda. Give us some hope and the party’s base will come to your support, in droves.”

Just a couple hours later, Dr. Carson folded. Not purdy. He thought that if he could find a reasonable, middle ground, the gay lobby would back off and reconsider him to be harmless.

Dr. Carson doesn’t know that the gay lobby has moved on from any middle ground compromises. They are SCOTUS bound, one opinion away from same gender marriage being declared a Constitutional right. Do you think they will back off now and accept civil union? Nope.

The Gay Lobby takes no prisoners and is incapable of compromise, unlike most political causes. They win—we lose.

Therefore, for the purposes of running for office, any office Dr. Ben Carson should offer:

1 This issue is personal, not political. It is nobody’s business what private parties do with their privates.

2. He wants nothing to do with gay issues. And he wants nothing of them either.

3. It’s still, Get out of my face, my wallet, and stay away from the kids. And stop misusing the courts to acquire what majority votes won’t give you.

Dr. Ben Carson tumbled over the gay trip wire set to make him stumble. He can recover from this only if he does to the gay agenda what he did to the Obamacare agenda.

He must blow the whistle on the fraud and speak truth with compassion and dignity. He doesn’t need to be abusive, or aggressive to resist the social and legal claims of the gay agenda.

But he does need to know the history, language, tactics and commitment of the lobby. And he won’t be able to avoid the issue as he promised himself he would.

He will face variations of these questions forever, even if he decides a presidential run is not in his future. As of right now, the gay lobby has marginalized him as the Michelle Bachman or Sarah Palin of this election cycle. It will be the last thing people will remember of his political legacy if he doesn’t man up.

Making nice will leave him behind.

]]>How Dr. Ben Carson can get his groove back?

First as a Christian libertarian, I consider somebody else’s sexual behavior or self-identity to be none of my business. Period. I have zero desire to use the law to bludgeon the sexually befuddled into conformity.

2 My bumper sticker has always read, “Stay out of my face, stay out of my wallet, and stay away from the kids. Still does. If the gay lobby violates any of that, I’ll be passionately snarky.

3. If the Gay lobby tries uses law to compel my affirmation or extend to itself a subsidy, then the fight is on.

Dr. Ben Carson made a rookie mistake. He allowed himself to be cross examined by a gay lobby zealot, a CNN reporter, Chris Cuomo. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with allowing a hostile interviewer to ask questions. In fact sometimes it is great, especially if it allows enough time to comment to explain your views. However, this is not the time to wing it if you don’t know the guy’s agenda or his tactics. You’ll likely get hammered.

Carson’s first statement was great. He refused to accept the premise of the question when he said same sex behavior is a choice, and that sexual identity is not to be equated with race.

Then, Dr. Carson stepped in it when he implied that prison sodomy can make a straight criminal emerge from prison converted to gay. Carson said the “situational” behavior of criminals in prison redefines them as gay. Carson equated debased prison behavior as defining the sexuality of the prisoner. That‘s a big mistake since that’s the same argument the gay lobby uses. They use the Kinsey Myth to say that people are defined by their inclinations—preferences to commit a behavior, which reveal an orientation. That “orientation”, the lobby has leveraged into a legally protected sexual class equipped with civil rights, including minority status and aspirations of “marriage equality”.

Is this unartful mess a fatal gaffe? No. At least it doesn’t have to be.

Dr. Ben Carson is high on the list of presidential aspirants because of one thing. A couple of years ago at the annual prayer breakfast, while in the presence of President Obama, Dr. Ben Carson challenged the basis and practically of Obamacare. The act of speaking truth to power launched his political career. Everywhere people who are tired of government over-reach saying to themselves, “This is the guy we’ve been waiting for.”

So, when Dr. Carson attacked the basic notions of the gay lobby, many Americans thought, “Finally, here’s a guy who is up to the task of challenging the runaway gay lobby machine…even though his language was imprecise and incomplete.

After Carson tangled with Cuomo, I had a chance to speak with several of his Iowa supporters. Seeing the usual thuggery of the Gaystopo, I observed that the only way Carson’s gaffe could seriously hurt him was that if he were to back off and go squishy. I advised that if Dr. Carson really folded on this, his candidacy could be seriously damaged.

I advised, “Don’t fold. Dr. Carson is on solid ground. He needs some help with gay-speak , but stay the course. The culture is fed up with the intolerance of the gay agenda. Give us some hope and the party’s base will come to your support, in droves.”

I can only speculate as to why. Perhaps it’s the confluence of my anti-gas tax argument which ties any increase to the scrutiny and defunding of illegals in Iowa Public schools. This opinion has really irritated the political class in Iowa which like everywhere else loves to trade votes for OPM. Also irritated is the Obamnesty class which has been milking compliant Iowans for untold millions since the early 80’s. And it’s annoying educrats which have been doing the same. This is the link to their blog.

I usually take stuff like this apart line by line, but in this case it isn’t necessary. They did me the honor of accurately quoting me extensively. They think they are tattling on me. They think my opinions are so out of the mainstream that merely reporting them is an indictment. They are wrong. Most Iowans agree with me. Most Americans for that matter.

I offer a few additional points to ponder though.

1. The title of their piece, “IA radio host claims equal education for children is ‘a scam’-- undocumented students should be barred from public school’. That isn’t accurate. My goal isn’t to necessarily remove them from Iowa Public Schools. I only said that the taxpayers have no obligation to pay for them. (For the record I’d settle for a fee structure for non-citizens.)

2.I wrote a short blog on my overview just a few months ago. It is still relevant.

3.And just to be a little snarky, Dr. Thomas Woods reminds us that the 14th Amendment was never legally ratified in the first place.

4.Finally, I can’t improve on Chief Justice Warren Burger’s opinion on Plyler. “In an effort to become an omnipotent problem solver, the court distorts our constitutional function…illegal aliens have NO right whatever to be here, and the state may reasonably, and constitutionally, elect not to provide them with government service at the expense of those who are lawfully in the state.”

It’s interesting that a left-wing organization like MediaMatters took the time to evaluate the strength of my arguments. Even though they made a muck of it, I thank them for the courtesy of a try. The political class which actually represents Iowa citizens and taxpayers won’t.

It was the provocative title of a book which pointed to the enduring power of bureaucrats to stay in power and of rent-seeking politicians to resist even the best thought out remedies—for rent-seeking politicians.

This week, after Obamacrats distributed thousands of DACA kids (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to school districts around the country, almost every pol and pundit repeated the same conventional wisdom—that it is federal law which entitles the children of illegals to a free, tax-funded public education.

Not once was that assumption challenged, by anybody. In fact, almost every form of media repeated the same refrain. USA Today, “All children are entitled to a free public education regardless of legal status.”

A Fox news anchor talked to a lawyer from the National School Board Association who said, “First of all, public schools all across the country are keenly aware that they have a legal obligation to educate all children, including immigrant children regardless of their legal status.”

Bill O’Reilly, along with one of his token liberal “experts” bloviated, “…this is according to federal law which states every child in America regardless of their immigrant status is entitled…to equal access to a basic public education…” Bill intoned, “…the important thing is that every child on American soil is entitled...” “…the Supreme Court ruled on that.” said the attorney in a burst of late interview honesty.

The only problem with all of these authoritative statements is that they are all wrong. There is NO federal law which says, “All children in the United States are entitled to equal access to a public education…regardless of their or their parent’s…immigration status.”

This “law” is really an opinion of a 5-4 “vote” of SCOTUS in 1982 which mysteriously “found” that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was violated if Texas taxpayers didn’t want to pay for the education of Mexican kids. Plyler vs. Doe.

Upon that split opinion has this whole edifice been built. That opinion was conveyed as law, binding on all states even though this was only a Texas lawsuit. In my home state, on the Iowa Department of Education website, “Plyer is still controlling law today for all states.”

Even at the time, the dissenting opinion, written by Chief Justice Warren Burger, joined by Rehnquist, White and O’Conner, nailed it. “In an effort to become an omnipotent problem solver, the court distorts our constitutional function…and …illegal aliens have NO right whatever to be here, and the state may reasonably, and constitutionally, elect not to provide them with government services at the expense of those who are lawfully in the state.”

Plyler has cost taxpayers billions upon billions of unaccountable spending, rewarding all the usual suspects—teachers unions, federally funded ESL programs, immigration activists, and Hispanic political racialists. Plus, it has created a vast moral hazard which attracts even more illegals with the promise of easy access to OPM. And it has funded an army of educrats who feed upon the problems they helped generate—with the promise to finally fix stuff IF we can get them just a little more OPM.

That pundits insist upon referring to Plyler as “law” and that the political class has a vested interest in maintaining the scam IS the “tyranny of the status quo”.

Those of us who understand the hustle should upon every occasion insist upon reminding educrats, bureaucrats, and immicrats (I just coined that word…meaning government activists who feed upon the illegal immigration chaos of their own making) of several points.

1.Judges don’t make law. You have to be a Harvard Law grad to believe they do.

2. Opinions of SCOTUS aren’t law. Article VI, Section 2 of the US Constitution lists three things as the “supreme law of the land.” (1) This constitution: (2) The laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance of it; and (3) All treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States. You’ll search in vain to find “court opinions” listed as law in the Constitution.

3 Courts can’t raise taxes or tell congress how to or upon what they must spend money.

4. A SCOTUS opinion which is unconstitutional should be resisted at every level.

5.If ever there was a 10th Amendment case for “nullification” it is Plyler.

6.DACA presents a crisis which should not go to waste.

“I do not charge the judges with willful and ill-intentioned error; but honest error must be arrested where its toleration leads to public ruin.” Jefferson

The Populist Caucus was founded on February 11, 2009, in the U.S. House of Representatives by Democrat Bruce Braley of Iowa. The caucus originally included 26 other Democrats in the House.

According to Braley:

"The middle class is the economic engine of America. Unfortunately, it has seen tough economic times lately, and it’s time for a renewed emphasis on those issues that serve to strengthen the middle class and improve the lives of working families. That’s why I established the Populist Caucus to focus exclusively on these types of issues."

Braley’s Caucus is basically “prairie socialism,” drawing from the “populist” movement’s widespread influence in the Midwest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

1. “The Making of America” by Cleon Skousen. This is my “smart book.” It matches Madison’s notes taken during the Constitutional Convention with the final product. If you wish to know of their original intent, this is your first stop.

4. “A Disease in the Public Mind: a new understanding of why we fought the Civil War” by Thomas Fleming. This is a cautionary history and a warning against today’s mindless political invective which infects our culture 24/7. The din amongst our chattering class, social media, our culture’s cultural troll factory, makes this generation’s civil discourse almost impossible. A similar “disease” then, took us from trash talk to real bullets.

5. “The Politics of Guilt and Pity” by Rousas J. Rushdoony. He wrote, “…the human race, in apostasy from God, is deeply involved in a rebellious claim to autonomy and in the guilt which follows that claim.” The tactics of the welfare state are laid bare, and made silly.
